Each M320 will come with a laser range finder and a sophisticated sight that even lets soldiers know if they aren’t holding the launcher right.

The unit weights 3.57 – 3.89 lbs depending on what rifle it is being mounted on.The stock pictured above adds an extra lb bringing the weight up to 4.8 lbs.

Benefits over the M230 are:

– The barrel swings out allowing larger rounds than the M203. Useful for less than lethal rounds.

– Laser range finder and new electronic sight system which also indicates if the launcher is being held incorrectly.

– Double action trigger
